It takes 8 weeks and they've been really bad about sending letters notifying people that it's ready.

Wait eight weeks then go down to the tracking unit to ask about status (first thing in the morning is best. I think it opens at either 8:00 or 8:30; I can't remember). When you do that eight weeks after application, it will be ready.

Don't bother waiting for the letter. Seems they never come. Don't pester them before the 8 weeks.

How can they get away with eight weeks instead of the statutory 45 days? You tell me. I don't know either.

On the bright side, it used to take over six months.
